A detective who last year helped capture the alleged armed robbers of two Gloucester County banks was among 30 officers honored this week by an international security professionals group.

Detective Bradd Thompson of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office was honored at the 8th annual law enforcement recognition dinner for ASIS International’s South Jersey chapter.

The banquet took place at Valleybrook Country Club in Gloucester Township.

Thompson investigated robberies to branches of The Bank in Deptford Township and National Park, last May 9 and June 8, respectively. He was told of both as a member of the FBI’s Violent Offender Task Force, prosecutor’s office spokesman Bernie Weisenfeld said.

Thompson identified two men authorities said robbed the Deptford bank using a sub-machine gun. One of them - Warren Christopher Davis - is awaiting trial in that case.

The other suspect, Dwayne Tribbett, was shot and killed by police July 18 following what investigators said was an attempted robbery in Lindenwold.

Authorities said Davis had tried to rob a check cashing office, then engaged in a standoff with police at a nearby apartment complex.

Thompson also found the man accused of robbing the National Park bank branch with steak knife, authorities said.

Paul Henning was quickly identified as the suspect because of distinctive neck tattoo. But he remained on the loose until Thompson found him in West Deptford Township, investigators reported, and Henning was arrested June 14.

Thompson has been a Gloucester County detective since 2006. He previously held the same job with the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.

He’s also served as a Major in the Air Force Reserve.

Thompson, said Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean F. Dalton, “is a tremendous asset, not only to the prosecutor’s office, but to area law enforcement agencies throughout the region.

“He is a team player whose only concern is providing whatever resources he can to accomplish the mission.”
